I also quite like Undying (great story and settings and magic/weapons/etc),

I never managed to get it to run here, but I've seen videos. The on thing 
that kills me with these games is when all the levels look the same. It 
looks like DOOM3 is pretty much like that. You have "indoor base", "mars 
surface", and "hades", and that's pretty much the three levels you have. At 
least from my limited viewing of the game being played. I think SS was the 
same way, if not moreso.

Mirror's Edge was inspired a bit by Portal.
